The company, in a statement, said that this integration will allow its customers to manage fitness data and other health goals more easily.

HumanaVitality, Humana's health program, rewards members with items such as movie tickets and fitness equipment, for hitting their health goals, which include being more active, eating better or losing weight.

The HealthKit is the software platform by Apple that collects data such as blood pressure and weight from various applications and henceforth enabling the consumers and doctors to view the data at one place. The ease of use provided by HealthKit seeks to increase data sharing between doctors and patients.

After many delays, Apple launched HealthKit earlier this month when it pulled back iOS 8 for iPhones and iPads. It was finally launched on Friday and is Apple's first big push towards health care.
